Character limit

1024 characters maximum for actions. For example, adding text & replacing text - we have config files that need to be generated that are small but still don’t fit the Nolio max number of characters. Would be great if Nolio had more flexibility for large text files

Annoyance #2

256 characters maximum for sdtout/stderr – need to output log files to filesystem or repository. Would be great if Nolio was more flexible about stdout and stderr. Output of up to 10 to 20 MB should be allowed if that doesn’t disturb the performance too much. . I understand that over time the DB would get bloated, but we should be able to set a retention policy of various types of objects upon creating or modifying each “Nolio application”, like we can for TFS Builds :

The 3rd parameter will include both parameters values , the 1024 characters limit is enforce on the UI only and not on the actual parameter size , If you will add the value of the 3rd parameter into file , (e.g using add text to file action) you will see all characters

Artifact Full Path Restriction - this is restricted to 99 chars, it seems reasonable to have more chars for a file path, 99 is not especially long. There is a limit in windows, surely that would be a better limit?

For file path and parameter value I will try to align it to a value of 1024 or 512 characters. As I have seen when we are accessing something from svn or http external source code repository with hierarchy the path easily crosses 500 char limit.

A sophisticated logging mechanism where the complete output stdout/stderr of an action can be stored on a specific logging server is essential.The output larger than 256 char is thrown away. If the action is completing successfully i might not bother but if the action is failing i need to know the complete output. This is essential for traceability.

There should be a global setting on application level to define on which server the ouput of all actions should be stored.

We have decided to increase the length of the sting parameter, which can be used as action input, to 10k characters, rather than the current 1k. It will be a part of RA v5.6 , which will be GA on March 25th, 2016.
